The Grundy County Sheriff's Office is sending off school surveillance video to the TBI in an attempt to enhance images of the person committing the crime that stalled the truck here at this intersection.

Chris Grooms reported to police he left Monday night's meeting to find the word 'RAPIST' spraypainted down the side of his truck. Grooms also believes something was put in his gas tank.

"We don't know who done it," Sheriff Clint Shrum said.

Jimmie White owns an auto shop in Palmer. He heard about the vandalism Monday, and told us why anything other than fuel in a gas tank can be disastrous.

"It would ruin your fuel filter," he said. "It can ruin your engine."

According to the body shop that fixed Grooms's truck, he's back on the road and driving it now.

They had to pump the fuel out earlier this week. Luckily, the paint came off too.

"There are a lot of hurt feelings on both sides," White said. "It's heartbreaking."
